Say No to Shark Fin Endorsing Michelin Stars
The 2022 edition of the Michelin Guide for Hong Kong and Macau was launched yesterday.
Sadly the Michelin Guide continues to award ‘stars’ and endorse and promote restaurants that sell sharks fin.
bc magazine refuses to knowingly support any restaurant or organisation that sells or promotes eating sharks fin!
Say NO to Sharks Fin!
Adiós Coyote
After almost 23 years and too many frozen margaritas and shots of tequila to count Coyote Wanchai shut its doors last night for the final time.
Another ‘victim’ of greedy landlords who have destroyed so many businesses in Hong Kong. Sadly, there are now more empty/closed former bars/restaurants on Wanchai’s Lockhart Road than open ones.
Surely in the middle of a global pandemic, with no tourists likely for at least another six months – as a landlord it’s better to have some money coming in than to have your place sit empty for months…
Anyway, Coyote is gone like so many others over the years. There were a surprising number of people having a last drink who were also there on opening night…
A final few bcene photos…

11 Hong Kong Restaurants in Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2021
Hong Kong has 11 entries in ‘Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2021‘ with local Cantonese restaurant The Chairman replacing last year’s numero uno Singapore’s Odette in top spot.
The very subjective list is compiled and voted on by over 300 ‘leaders’ in Asia’s culinary field including journalists, food critics, chefs, restaurateurs and culinary experts.
Quite how it can pretend to be remotely objective this year when travel and dining out have been extensively curtailed… But congratulations to the local restaurants listed.
The local restaurants in this year’s ‘Top 50’ are Vea (16), Neighbourhood (17), Belon (25), Caprice (28), Otto e Mezzo Bombana (33), Amber (37), Ta Vie (38), Mono (44), Lung King Heen (47) and Seventh Son (48).
The only Macau entry is Wing Lei Palace in 50th spot.
Angel’s, New Filipino Restaurant in Wanchai
On the sliver of O’Brien Road that connects Hennessy Road and Lockhart Road, the tasty Indian hole in the wall Masala Train has reached the end of the track. New at the A2 entrance to Wanchai MTR is Angel’s.
Strangely given the number living in the city, there are not many Filipino restaurants around. As well as a menu that features the classics like tapsilog, adobe, lechon and sisig there are daily blackboard specials. So if you’re looking to tease your tastes buds with something different call an Angel.
